About

metaTED is a tool that makes it easy to download all of the TED talks. It
does so by creating over 1,000 metalinks of TED talks varying in both the
quality levels and possible talk groupings by directory. Features include:

Tries hard to get all of the talks, or at least most of them - with a good
reason if some have failed.

More choice - creates one metalink per available quality level
(currently low, standard and high).

More choice - creates one metalink per available talk grouping, with all
talks belonging to the same group placed inside a common directory. The
possible talk groupings are extracted from talks metadata (currently
filming year, publishing year, event name and author).

Aggressive caching throughout the project, to avoid expensive network/CPU
operations as much as possible. Proper cache invalidation included.
